Matt and Bruce from Mongoose Razors ran a closed group with daily SOTD's featuring the Mongoose.

Again, not being that familiar with Facebook, are any of you aware of other daily postings of SOTD's in any other groups?
A friend and recent convert to wet shaving is into Facebook and asked me to explore this.

SOTD is very common on the shaving FB groups. So much so that it has overwhelmed my feed and become the bulk of what I see on FB. Some great stuff posted on there. The problem is that most people(myself included) post the same thing to every group they are a member of so you see the same post 3-5 times.

Fb groups are great. My favorite is direct contact with artisans and store owners. Yes you can send an email or a message on forum but when i have a question about a product or something on their site i just shoot them a pm which usually goes to their phone and they answer right away. Plus being able to interact and share experiences is a bit easier than forums or reddit. That said you can get a lot of notifications but you can turns those off

There are some good people there but there is too much unchecked advertising and most of the moderators only pour gasoline on the fires.

That and to be perfectly honest with you, like Shane said, I do not care to see the same person's SOTD 30 times over in each group.

The few Facebook groups that I post on such as The Straight Razor Place, Str8shave, Hempel Razor Handles, plus the BST shaving groups and raffle groups are as well moderated as any shaving forum. PS I also decline many offers to join various other shaving groups because at the end of the day there's only so much one can keep up with.

I'm happy you feel that way but I will respectfully disagree. Too much unchecked nonsense in those groups disguised as good intentions. I met good people there and have kept in touch with them but I don't need to watch grown men arguing about God only knows what and see 60 million SOTD pics.

I agree with this. Lots of unnecessary arguments and there are a few members that continually post inappropriate things but because of their relationships with the moderators, they get away with it.
